Sell Tevez and get a decent young striker. I don't want to have a striker crisis like we did in the 06/07 season when we had to loan Larsson lol.

Nani is a decent youg player. He should be on the bench or sttarting line up.

Im living Austria so i dont get all the latest gossip... who has the best chance to become CFC manager besides Ancelotti?

@ captain: could u do me a fav and delete that Spurs thingy in ur sig ;)

 

 The rumour is pretty much Ancelotti. Rijkard and Mourinho slim possiblities.

scolari was weak indeed, it's quite problematic with some national team managers becoming club managers, doesnt always work.

btw, I think Hiddink was / is the complete manager, the games Chelsea played under him, especially those 2 versus Barca, were just perfect footbal imo. 99 % Flawless footballchess. It's a shame we don't see ManU Chelsea in CL final, but what can you do ?

As far as I know ancelotti is already sure as new manager, getting 6 million a year for 4 years. he'll be good but I don't think he can match the greatness of Hiddink, Hiddink was the perfect coach for Chelseas kind of playing football.



How can 720p be considered HD when it looks like ugly snow grains on my 22'' screen?

 

 

Firstly - Tevez is better than Berbatov. Tevez has a far higher workrate, is alot more dedicated, more passionate and crucially has scored more goals this season than Berbatov. He is also a far better penalty taker and equally as good as Berbatov in the air. Tevez also draws fouls and has vision just as good as Berbatov. It was also Tevez that made an impact during the 5-2 win over Tottenham - Berbatov didn't, Tevez makes impacts just as well if not better than Tevez. Ask United fans and 99% want Tevez instead of Berbatov. Berbatov may have greater ball skill and assists but that isn't enough. If Tevez had played more regularly instead of Berbatov then Tevez would have at least 2 more goals and be matching him on assists.
Secondly - If he does leave then United don't need to buy anyone to replace him, we'll simply bring up Welbeck & Macheda or Manucho & Campbell (both currently on loan). Or we could just get a player on loan again in January if a bit of extra firepower is truly needed at that point.

I hope Ribery does not come to United, we have a strong midfield already with Park, Carrick, Fletcher, Anderson, Nani, Hargreaves, O'Shea, Scholes & Giggs, even Rooney can play midfield really well. As for Ronaldo - yes he is a prima donna, yes he does dive and moan too much but from a pure skill point he is of the best players in the world, last year he was undoubtedly the best. If he does go then thats a blow but not serious, if he doesn't (and I hope he stays) then great.

If you think Tevez is better and a more complete player than Berbatov, your obviously mistaken. If you have watched EVERY SINGLE Man Utd game this season as I have, you will see this. Tevez may have a higher work rate, but can he produce goals or assists? Berbatov has scored some crucial goals as well, Middlesbrough, Bolton, Celtic Newcastle anyone? Tevez is a joke in the air. If you watch games you will see this. Tevez doesn't have good vision at all my friend. Berbatov can control the ball with his small toe and give you a no look pass down the wing. Tevez prefers to take the ball and run at defenders. I realize that Tevez can make a big impact, WHEN HE COMES OFF THE BENCH. Everytime Tevez has started a match he always got subbed off for poor performances. When Berbatov starts, he controls the game well and gets his players going with his passes. United fans may want Tevez over Berbs but they arn't appreciating what Berbatov can bring to the game. If yo uask any fan of any team, they would want the player who runs like a madman all over teh pitch but brings no end product over the player that seems lazy but controls the game well and passes better.

Welbeck, Macheda Campbell, Manucho. These are good young strikers but they arn't good enough to start a match or fill in for and injured Rooney (he does get injrued a lot) These are still "Carling Cup" players. A younger version of Agbonlahor would be good.

Ribery would be a great addition to Utd. Tevez is going to leave this year and that means Rooney will have to play striker not winger. Giggs is getting old, Nani is still young so we need someone to play the wing. Owen could back him up on teh wing, Nani and Giggs could back up Ronaldo.

 



Why is it that berbatov seems to get so much stick from all the UTD fans at Old Trafford and Tevez is treated like a God? I think you are mistaken.

For me Berbatov isnt worth 30 million. Berbatov 15 Million Tevez 20 Million.



@captainpreferences - tevez has 15 goals this season, berbatov 14. Its irrelevant anyway seeing as he is likely to go. And the young'uns are not 'Carling cup' players. they have all the talent to play FA Cup & league, the only place they may struggle is in champs league.

@footballfan the reason berba gets so much stick is because he cost £30 million yet has been outscored by Tevez this season, he doesn't have a high workrate and he doesn't show much dedication on the pitch. Tevez or Park or Rooney will go and get the ball, berbatov (and ronaldo) will wait and be expected to be given the ball.
